Subject: [PATCH 3.2 64/87] ALSA: control: Avoid kernel warnings from tlv
 ioctl with numid 0

3.2.77-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Takashi Iwai <tiwai@...e.de>

commit c0bcdbdff3ff73a54161fca3cb8b6cdbd0bb8762 upstream.

When a TLV ioctl with numid zero is handled, the driver may spew a
kernel warning with a stack trace at each call.  The check was
intended obviously only for a kernel driver, but not for a user
interaction.  Let's fix it.

This was spotted by syzkaller fuzzer.
